RICHARD SMITH'S ART
(1931-2016)

We stop in London
for Richard Smith's exhibit
who has now departed
after Dick created
a pioneer slick shield
of abstract designs
between pop and high art
with a pure color field part
as a vibrant pioneer
of abstract designs
in his passionate career
from the cultural Sixties
as a canvasser
of "High Fashion"
"Purple,Red and Green"
and "Big Number."
